This is The Reverend Daughter Reverend Nonagesimus (aka Gideon)! He was like if a dog was reincarnated as a fish. I think it was really interesting how his coloration changed- he went from being goth to being scene.

MINORS DNI!!

Tara hates three things in her life. You, hairless cats, and soggy bread. In that order too

She could handle hating hairless cats and soggy bread, but you? You were in Tara’s friend group. Tara hated you and to make matters worse, she was the only one that did

You were nerdy like Wes and Ethan, quick-witted and funny like Mindy and Amber, athletic like Chad, charismatic like Quinn, protective like Sam, and (allegedly) nice like Anika. You had nearly every one of her friends best traits, but Tara knew why she didn’t like you. You were really fucking annoying

Along with all of your positive traits, you were loud and obnoxiously social. Not that Tara was antisocial or anything, but god you were on a whole other level. It was mildly infuriating how you could go to a party you knew nobody at and somehow come out with more friends than you started with

All those people and you decided Tara was the one you’d annoy. A nudge to her shoulder made Tara look up from where she was putting her head down

“You look like shit” The brunette doesn’t respond and puts her head back down on the table

“Sam tase someone without your permission again?” Tara could practically hear the smirk in your voice

“Please for the love of god shut the fuck up. Your voice is the last thing I need to hear today”

“Woah, someone’s mad” You stick out your tongue in response at the glare Tara sends your way

“Suck my dick, (Y/n).”

“Don’t tempt me with a good time, Carpenter”

Tara abruptly leaves the lecture room. You think you really fucked up this time, but let out a breath of relief when you see that Tara didn’t grab her things. She was probably going to the bathroom to escape you. Which, who would ever want to escape you?

Apparently not Tara because she’s back in her seat just a few minutes before the lecture starts

“Aspirin?” You grab the bottle from a pocket in your bag, shaking it next to her

“You have Aspirin laying around?”

“Anika told me you were at a party, I figured it’s the least I could do”

“You’re trying to drug me, aren’t you?”

“If I was trying to drug you, I would’ve offered it to you at the end of class”

“Why weren’t you at the party?” Tara asks, taking the bottle from you hands and shaking out two tablets before downing them with some water

“Missed me?”

“Nope, just surprised you weren’t blackout drunk”

“Good to know you think highly of me. I was studying, thank you”

“You? Study?” Tara scoffs

“Don’t act like the idea is so out of this world”

“Right, because last time I remember you passing up a party was because your betta fish died and you forced all of us to have a funeral for him at the park”

“Trout’s death is not one to be made fun of!”

Before Tara can respond, the professor starts talking and the lesson begins. Unfortunately her head is still kind of throbbing with only mildly wanting to throw up. She had to accept she wasn’t going to get anything done until that Aspirin kicked in. Especially when she can feel you staring at her

The class goes as smoothly as it can and you notice Tara hasn’t made an effort to even try to take notes. The lesson eventually ends and when everyone gets up, the brunette begrudgingly does too

You bump your shoulders together and Tara glares at you with enough power you actually manage to feel fear for a split second until you realize it’s Tara. The girl was like two apples tall. Two and a half on a good day

The brunette doesn’t realize you were handing her a paper so you physically have to place it in her hand. Her eyebrows furrow in confusion

“What is this?”

“Notes, you need them”

“I’m not buying you Raising Canes if that’s what you want”

“Since I’m such a good friend, I’ll give it to you free of charge. Just make sure to bring it back with minimal damage”

“You’re not gonna make me Paypal you fifty bucks?” Tara doesn’t have any classes for the next few hours so you two made a point to walk to your next class. She didn’t know how it started, but you were okay to talk to when you weren’t being annoying

“In my defense, Trout recently died”

“We buried him in the fucking park, I don’t think that costs money”

“It was condolence money. I made everyone pay and I think it was pretty genius”

“I really do wonder how you still have friends”

//-//

Someone knocks on the door of you and Anika’s apartment. When you realize your roommate is probably listening to music that was too loud to be healthy, you get up from your very comfortable bed

You don’t remember ordering food and you’re pretty sure Anika didn’t invite Mindy over, so the person behind the door was probably just the nice old lady across the hall that made cookies for everyone

For better or for worse, you’re met with a Tara Carpenter that’s caught off guard when you open the door. Tara usually sees you in well put together outfits so you can only imagine her surprise when she sees you wearing boxers that outlined your cock and a hoodie that barely covered it up

“Eyes are up here- What brings you to the Mojo Dojo Casa House?”

“Can’t you just let me in?” Tara’s cheeks burn in embarrassment. Thank god you just glossed over… it

“It’s protocol you identify yourself and state why you’re here” You lean on the doorframe, actively blocking the entrance to your apartment. Tara knew this was a losing battle and hated how you looked hot while winning

“Anika and I have a project we need to work on”

“You didn’t identify yourself” you’re wearing that same dumbass smirk you have after telling a horrible joke

“Tara. Tara fucking Carpenter.”

“Unfortunately I don’t think we know any Tara Fucking Carpenters. Guess you can’t come in” you shrug

“God give me patience.” Tara rubs at her temples like you’re giving her a headache

“Isn’t it god give me strength?”

“If god gave me strength, you would be dead.”

“Point taken, but you still need a password”

“You didn’t say anything about a password!”

“Yeah, well, I don’t know if you’re the real Tara or not. Say a fact about me only the real Tara would know”

The brunette pretends to think for a moment, even putting her hand on her chin and looking off into the distance for effect. When she notices you’re starting to get suspicious of her antics Tara pushes you though the door, successfully getting in without a password or confirmation

You stumble back almost like a cartoon character and you can hear Tara let out a small laugh. You can see the dimples on her cheeks whe she tries to cover it up with her hand

“Nika, your friend’s here!” You lead Tara to Anika’s room, making sure to knock loudly while Tara’s busy either checking you out or trying to blow you up with her mind. It’s unclear, but you have to lean towards the latter

“Isn’t Tara your friend too?” Your roommate opens the door, headphones around her neck

“No.”

“Yes.” Both of you say in unison. The look you give each other is almost comical with how Tara’s glaring while you’re smiling. Anika stares blankly between you two and it eventually starts to make more sense

“Stop eye fucking each other, we have work to do” Anika pulls Tara into her room. You shrug, heading off to probably yell at ten year olds on Fortnite or something

“We were not eye fucking” the shorter girl huffs, sitting on Anika’s bed

“I literally opened my door and thought you two were about to make out”

“I didn’t expect to get interrogated when I came here!” Tara flops onto her back, covering her eyes and trying (and failing) to stop the red that dusted her cheeks

“Whatever, I’ll get you to crack later”

“Kill yourself.”

//-//

Tara doesn’t understand what she’s feeling when she sees some random girl grind against you

It’s like that one scene in Euphoria when Maddy and Nate stare each other down at the school dance, except you were looking far more more bored. That is, until you see Tara glaring at both of you

Like a switch turned on, you’re suddenly more interested in the girl. You encourage her grinding with a hand kneading her hip, using your other hand to take a sip of your drink. And just like Maddy, she’s tempted to find Chad to do the same to you. She doesn’t.

Tara fucking hated you. But she also needed you now.

Making you jealous would take too long. In theory she had the time, but her hunger to taste you was making her do things she would’ve never thought of before. One of those things being grabbing your hand and leading you away from any girl that tried to even look at you.

The girl who was grinding on you calls her a bitch among other things, but Tara knows it’s worth it when she sees you smile at her like she’s your entire world. Because she was your entire world

She leads you into an empty guest bedroom of the house, locking the door before getting close enough to you she can smell the alcohol in your breath

“What’s all this about, Tar?” You grin. Tara doesn’t know if she wants to kiss or slap that smirk right off of your annoying face

“You know what this is fucking about.”

“Do I? I think you should spell it out for me.”

“You know, I’ve had it with your attitude.” Tara jabs a finger at your chest, the back of your knees hitting the end of the bed. In one motion you sit down and bring Tara down with you. You make her sit on your cock

“Anyone ever tell you you’re fucking hot when you’re mad?” You smile, finding the blush on Tara’s cheeks absolutely adorable

“Only you.”

“Good. How about we keep it that way, baby?”

“You’re so annoying.” The brunette cups your face with both of her hands, your lips fitting together like they were always meant to

“I know I am” You say in between kisses, your hands finding their way up Tara’s shirt, kneading the spot right under her boob. She forces your hand to stimulate her nipple, eliciting a moan from her mouth

“You’re so pretty, Tar. I can’t believe only I get to see you get all hot and bothered” You smile breathlessly

“Fuck. S-Stop talking like that or you’ll make me like you” Biting a hickey on Tara’s neck, you take of her shirt and her bra in a flurry of heat

“I bet you’ll like me even more when you’re bouncing on my cock” You force Tara to grind on the bulge in your pants, earning you a small whimper that makes you smile

“C’mon, all you have to do is admit you like me and I’ll fuck you better than anyone has” It should be considered torture how much you were teasing Tara. You were biting hickeys on her neck, playing with her nipples, all while a few layers of fabric were the only barriers between your dick and her pussy. Fuck you knew how to overstimulate a girl

Laying Tara on on the bed, you could really tease the brunette better in this position. You can feel the Tara’s wetness through her soaked panties, and you’re sure she can feel the pre-cum leak out of your cock. Your hands are on her hips as if you were thrusting, yet you deny her and your pleasure for the sake of being an ass

“Don’t you want me to ruin you for anyone else? I promise I’ll stretch you out so good no other guys’ cock can fill you up like me.”

“Fuck you. I hate you, you’re s-such a fucking asshole, you know that?” Tara reaches for anything she can hold onto, your arms being the nearest thing

“I can think ways you could ‘hate’ me even more” You smile when Tara reaches to take off her panties but you find her hands first. You intertwine your hands together and the action is so soft Tara almost forgets about the situation she’s in. Almost

“Whenever I masturbate I think of you, did you know that? God, sometimes I have these hookups and all I can think about is you cumming around my cock”

Tara thinks it’s embarrassing how she’s about to cum just by your sickeningly sweet voice and the constant friction between you two. Tara also thinks she’d rather die than miss an opportunity of a lifetime.

Sure you were a cocky pain in the ass, but you were her cocky pain in the ass.

“Fuck- I admit it! I think you’re the hottest fucking person in the world. I like you.” Tara looks straight into your eyes, and the smile reserved only for her makes another appearance

“That wasn’t so hard, was it Tar?”

“I still hate you.” You unbuckle your belt and unbutton and unzip your jeans with watchful eyes. You pull down your boxers just enough so that your cock springs out, making Tara’s mouth water. Fuck you were big

Pulling Tara’s panties to the side, she’s dripping wet when you swipe your finger across her slit

“Fuck- (Y-Y/n)” Tara sings when you lick up her juices with your tongue. She buries her hands in your hair, bringing you closer to her dripping cunt. You moan at her taste and the vibrations are almost enough to get Tara to cum. Almost

You rise to your knees, lining up your dripping cock with the shorter girls dripping pussy. You decide to be evil and rub your dick against her slit before easing your tip into her hole. It was infuriating how slow you were going and Tara remembers why she hated you in the first place

Tara’s whining and whimpering under you and you can’t remember a time where you’ve been happier than in this moment

Tara on the other hand, has never hated you more in her life than in this moment

The younger Carpenter decides to be bold when she grabs your shirt and forces you forward. You’re caught off guard and over half of your cock finds itself nestled tightly in her pussy as you catch yourself with your arms

“Y-You’re sneaky, aren’t ‘cha” With your face so close to hers, Tara realizes you’re as much of a victim to your teasing as she is. She can tell it’s taking everything inside of you not to fuck her raw until your dick is limp and Tara’s legs are sore

“You can go fast. I can handle it, baby” Tara cups your face with her hand, stroking your cheek with such softness like you aren’t literally lodged into her cunt like a dog in heat

With that confirmation, you give Tara a peck on the lips and buck your hips in such a way you hit that spongey spot inside of her

The sound of skin slapping is louder than the blasting music downstairs, but your grunting and Tara’s moaning combined are louder than both. Thank god the owner of the house was your friend because you don’t know if you could come out of that room if this is what Tara sounded like

“Fuck- I’m close” You say a little too breathlessly for your liking

“Don’t p-pull out.” The shorter girl uses your shirt as leverage to keep you inside of her. Your eyebrows furrow in confusion

“T-Too messy, don’t feel like cleaning up.” Tara answers between moans like she can read your mind

The familiar heat you’re so used to finally snaps. Wrapping her legs around yours, you cum with almost a guttural whine. Your orgasm is enough for Tara to have hers and you fuck her through it, making sure none of your cum drips out of her hole

You pull out and a few dribbles of your semen flow out of her cunt. You plug her pussy with your fingers and Tara is far too sensitive to handle it

“D-Don’t tell me you’re tired already?” Tara jokes, but all air in her lungs leave when you let out a laugh of your own

“I’ve got all night, love.”

Tara has to remember to make you buy her a morning after pill.

namgyu headcanons pt 1!!!!!

here are some silly goofy headcanons i have abt my favorite stupid idiot (affectionate) :3 i love namgyu so so so much... i literally have like 20 pages worth of headcanons that i want to post about him so TRUST... there will be so much more where this came from

first and foremost, BISEXUAL. yes, i am projecting. no, i don't care :3

he needs glasses but he refuses to wear them because he thinks they look lame as fuck

his hair used to be a lot longer but it got hard for him to manage so he chopped it all off and gave himself his signature fuckass bob

namgyu gets really cold really easily. his hands are the first thing to freeze up during the winter, but he hates wearing gloves, so he buys all of his hoodies a size or two up so they dangle over his hands more

his love language is obviously physical touch. it helps to ground him when he's feeling anxious (which is like, a lot)

he spends a lot of time gaming when he can. he's an avid rhythm game fan. he's really good at them, like, scarily good. he also plays games like gta v, postal 2, and mortal kombat. every now and then, he caves and plays fortnite with gyeongsu (who is constantly begging him) and it's fucking hilarious the way he's screaming every five seconds about how him and gyeongsu are in sweat lobbies

namgyu gets scared very easily but he LOVES scary things. scary games, scary movies... stuff like that

he likes to make really shitty raps and then beg thanos to use them in his songs

we've seen his tattoos... i just feel like he'd also really like piercings!! his right nostril has a hoop, his left eyebrow is pierced (it rejected the first time so he had to get it redone), his tongue is definitely pierced. he has three lobe piercings (two on the left, one on the right), two of which are stretched to about 00g. he has an industrial in his right ear and helix in his left. also a prince albert I MEAN WHAT WHO SAID THAT

he's also been considering getting a lip piercing for a while but he isn't sure what would suit him best

he LOVES his gold jewelry so much... he thinks it looks expensive

when his hair is like, freshly washed, it's SO soft. like almost velvetty

he physically cannot stand still. he's constantly moving around, shifting his weight between his feet, bouncing around, making noises and/or mumbling under his breath, looking around for something more interesting

has literally the cutest sneezes. you'd think he's a fucking kitten. he HATES it because everybody he knows (except for minsu) teases him about it

HE WAS A SLIME KID.

his favorite food is teriyaki chicken skewers

he also really likes the flavor of coconut, but he hates the texture, so he usually just sticks to drinking coconut water

he smells like dark chocolate, wet autumn leaves, and cigarettes

on the contrary, he tastes like gummy bears

he gets very giggly when he's high. everything becomes a game to him and he can't take anything seriously.

namgyu gets so fucking angry at advertisements, especially for things like spotify or youtube premium. he'll yet at the ads and then either begrudgignly pay for whatever premium service is being offered (but in like, an angry, spiteful way) or he'll delete the app until he remembers that he needs it

he has a pet betta fish that he named after minzy from 2ne1

namgyu seems very douchey on the outside (and i mean, he kind of is), but he's completely different towards the people he loves. he's a lot softer, sweeter, gentler... kind of like a skittish cat. he doesn't like being around people until he does, yknow?

speaking of cats, namgyu is VERY catlike. sleeps a lot during the day, gets very sudden bursts of energy, follows people around, cocks his head to the side when he's interested or curious about it... he won't admit it, but he also loves when people scratch his head

he didn't learn how to drive until he was 22 and almost immediately got his license revoked for a DUI. he got it back but he usually just walks places now. when he does drive, however... he drives with one hand on the steering wheel. the other one is usually hanging out the window with a cigarette pinched between his fingers

namgyu does not give two flying fucks how hot it is outside. he has this one specific black zip-up hoodie that he NEEDS with him at all times.

happy belated mermay! i drew that final pic after i went with my family to the new england aquarium recently, and picked out something they had there for each of the nocturnal detectives - plus kurumi! more description (spoilers) under the cut:

kurumi - piranha! it fits her color scheme, and her little freckles… and well, you know *bites you*

yuma - emperor tetra. actually i lied this one wasn’t at the aquarium i had to look it up

yakou - anemone man. ouughhh so sillyyyy

desuhiko - tried to ID the guy I took a picture of and it looked closest to the crosshatch butterflyfish. could be wrong though.

halara, fubuki - i could not find the labels for either of these fish unfortunately

vivia - electric eel (yeah he’s there, look again)

———-

the mermaids were kinda based off these species, except fubuki changed to a betta fish. bred for glamour, not for function. she is out there living her best life tho!!! nothin gets this mermaid princess down!!!!

obviously squid shinigami (squidigami) is based off ursula. but also i liked her having squid tentacle hair. woomy!

i imagine it would actually be kind of a reverse ursula situation though (reversula?). poor unfortunate amnesiac yuma would go up to sea witch shinigami asking her for his memories back, but she reveals she was the one who took his memories in the first place, and they’ve actually already made a deal. which she’s not going back on, sorrynotsorry lol!!! of course he’s actually not a mermaid at all but a human under a spell to go investigate…. something underwater. idk. maybe the mystery labyrinths are still a thing in this universe?

vivia, i’m sorry to say, would be a hundred times more miserable than we ever see him in canon, because guess what. no books. he’d still have some sort of coping mechanisms like watching other fish, watching stuff above the surface of the water, wanting nothing more to join them and fly someday. (the dragonflies, of course, are a reference to the famous water bugs and dragonflies story.) he’d still find something to get distracted by… although if he had his forte he probably would ghost up to the surface and read whatever the humans are reading up above. i guess this would make him the real ariel of the story.

kurumi of course is still based on a piranha, because it’s cute. of course these fish shouldn’t all live together but whatever. it’s mermaids. she probably is still some kind of informant, and probably hangs out near yakou’s place a bunch.

i could see yakou running some sort of shop. or if he’s still into detective work, he’d probably need kurumi as an assistant since he’s uh. not much of a swimmer. (he claims he can too swim, but it’s really silly looking. google swimming anemone. you’ll thank me.) he considers those little teeny fish to be pests (or at least claims they are. they’re probably helping him hide some sort of secret in there.)

desuhiko is a wandering trader with a keen sense of fashion. he’s great at repurposing sunken sails into mer-clothing, not so great at making sales. also the fact that his hair is gelled is way more obvious when everything is underwater. he’s basically got a helmet.

halara of course puts up an intimidating front, but has a secret soft spot for cute sea creatures. i asked my irl friend what she’d consider ‘the cat of the sea’ and she said pufferfish. i do think they are very cute and make a lot of sense as an allergen. but i don’t think halara’s taste is limited to pufferfish only, no no no. they like anything cute.

fubuki has got to have been kept captive before the story - by humans? or other mermaids? but either way, now she’s free and having a blast exploring the deep blue ocean. she really wants to know what kind of exciting creatures live in the deep!!!

and that’s it. hopefully all this description makes up for being 2 days late to mermay LMAO. i guess now it’s merGAY

Twisted Wonderland Marine Biologist AU Snippet

Hey everyone! I'm still okay, just been dealing with real life stuff and discovered I may have accidentally put myself through a burnout even when I was trying to avoid it. =w=

I've been working through it by focusing on more personal projects and other fandoms, and I've also been focusing more on my physical and mental health lately. I'm getting better every day though, and I'm feeling good about stuff!

Anyway, I know I haven't posted anything in a while since my last update, so I wanted to tide everyone over with a snippet I had written back in May for the Marine Biologist AU. I was saving this for when I finally reached that part of the story and got it off the ground, buuuuut...honestly, it's too adorable for me NOT to share!!!

Reminder that in this and the mermaid AU, there is a communication barrier where humans and mermaids cannot speak the same language. In the Marine Biologist AU though, the boys can understand some if not most words, so they have nothing but time to try and listen to the researchers talk and learn how to speak the language.

So...what happens when our little researcher Yuu just so happens to drop an apple in the tank holding a certain Guppy and gorgeous Betta Fish?

////--------------////

"Whoa, geez!” Yuu squawked, their hand just barely touching the apple as it bounced off the grating before falling into the water with a ‘plop’. Sighing, Yuu said, “Well, there goes part of my lunch.”

One moment the apple was bobbing along in the waves, the next…a hand reached out and grabbed it, a familiar adorable face emerging from the water to examine his catch. “Oh, hi, Guppy!” Yuu called out, happy to see the smaller mermaid. Violet floated nearby, though it was clear that he was watching them both with that intense gaze of his. “Sorry, that’s not a fish. It’s an apple.”

At that he perked up so fast that Yuu almost thought he’d gotten whiplash, adorable doe eyes looking shocked and amazed as he squeaked at them.

“D…do you know what an apple is?” Yuu asked, earning another insistent chirp from him before they pointed at the fruit clutched in his hands. “Apple. Ahp…pull…”

He looked between them and the fruit, looking so confused for a moment. Then, he held it out and—pointing at it and himself—he spoke and said, “Ahp…ull…Eah…pul…Eahpul!”

Yuu was floored as they stared, not sure if they’re feeling amazement or pure disbelief or both as Guppy continued his game of charades. It was as if he was trying to tell them…

“Is…Ehpul…Eh…pel…Epel…your name?” Yuu asked.

“Yeeee!” ‘Epel’ squealed, practically squirming in place and looking absolutely elated as he nodded enthusiastically. “Epel! Epel!”

Even as he continued chattering in the strange language while still repeating his new ‘name’, Yuu found themselves hardly able to move as they tried to process this new development. Had…they been able to understand Yuu this whole time and just…didn’t know how to communicate back? Or is this a new development brought on by their continuous interactions with the mermaids?

Once he had calmed down, Epel had turned his attention back to the apple and curiously sniffed it. Then—before they could think to try and get it back—he had taken a bite out of it and chewed. A moment later his eyes grew wide, the ear fins wiggling as a wide (chubby cheeked) smile bloomed on his face and he let out a high-pitched warble.

“Huh…? Do…you guys actually eat fruit?” Yuu uttered in amazement as Epel chomped away at the fruit faster than they could blink, practically swallowing the core whole before licking the juice off his fingers. A moment later he lunged up onto the deck, peeking over the edge as he sniffed around like a cat on the hunt. “Whoa! Slow down there! I don’t have any more apples if that’s what you’re looking for.”

Once he seemed to realize this, he looked up at Yuu and-

'Oh no...those are the cutest puppy eyes I've ever seen!!' Yuu thought. 'How does a mermaid know how to do the puppy eyes?!'

"Ahpul...app...le," Epel chirped. "Apple..? Apple!"

"O-okay, okay! I'll go and get more apples for you!"

im so sorry what is happening again. what evil hath the betta owner wrought

in 2018 when I bought my first marimo my cats kept drinking from its water and even slapped it out of its bowl/globe a few times (was different, smaller bowl than Im using now). I posted a pic about trying to cover the bowl's opening and then someone else reblogged it with a good joke. this made the post get a bunch of notes.

despite how the op photo showed only a marimo in the bowl, a bunch of people got mad at me and accused me of animal abuse. I guess they jumped to conclusions thinking glass bowl/globe of water = betta fish being mistreated.

sucked for me cause when I corrected people they often blocked me rather than acknowledging their mistake. some ignored me and didn't delete their reblogs so anyone could still read their accusations and get the wrong idea about me. i got some hate anons over this too.

this only lasted like a week though. after that my friends would mention marimo abuse to me as a joke but no one ever mistakenly assumed I was keeping a fish again... until today it seems.

[raggedybitchboy]

I feel like ranting about something

So here's a rant about how there's no such thing as an "easy pet"

I work at a pet store right? And many people come in asking for the easiest pet to have.

There's no such thing...

But hamsters are easy?

WRONG!!! they need a HUGE tank with shit ton of bedding and even more enrichment. And of course your attention and quality food.

Fish then?

WRONG again. They usually need to live in groups so you'll need a big tank. Which means a lot of care for the fish, tank, filters, maybe heaters etc.

Well I've heard Betta fish are easy?

Biggest wrong. Not only do they need everything other fish need (filter, heater, big tank) BUT they're suckers for routine and hate change. From what I've read you have to feed them a tiny bit every day at the same time. When doing a water change you should do it routinely and not all the water. They need specific temperature and pH and all that stuff, it changes? Betta gets mad. Also I've heard due to overbreeding they don't live very long anymore which is sad..

Well cats are easy? They don't need much

LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER. My credentials? I've lived with cats literally my entire life. And I have two beautiful babies right now. They're domesticated animals. House cats. So 1. Keeping them outside is in my opinion irresponsible and cruel. 2. Keep them inside? Oh boy. For feeding you CANNOT just give them random kibble and call it a day. That spells health issues, mainly urinary. When cats eat in the wild they get the majority of their hydration from food (blood for example). So only giving them dry kibble is not good. You should also feed them good quality food otherwise, again, health issues. Mine currently have specific wet and dry food for each one, salmon oil and kelp powder. Cats also need a LOT of enrichment and contrary to popular belief a LOT of attention too. They need places to scratch, toilets for each cat plus one more. So I have 2 cats and 3 toilets. Lots of toys, hides and places to lounge. Regular vet checkups, vaccines. You also need to adjust your home for the cats. Which means no pretty plants, open trash, small things they could eat (generally if it fits in their mouth = hide it). No decorations they could knock over and break. And if you have a smartass you also need to baby-proof your place ://

Reptiles/bugs don't need much?

That's a BIG depends. Would you consider usually a large enclosure, lamps, keeping the temperature and humidity at the right levels at all times and potentially having to feed them live insects daily (which you also need to take care of btw) a lot? Cleaning too but I don't need to tell you that. For this category I'd say THEORETICALLY keeping a scorpion, spider or bugs could be a bit easier? They don't need much interaction. You just gotta keep their home the right way and feed them when you need to.

But that's not what you want is it? You want something cuddly and cute. Something you can show off and interact with. Not gonna happen

If I said anything wrong please correct me!!!!

I haven't covered things like birds, other rodents, dogs etc because I think it's pretty well known they're not an easy pet

In the end. All pets are living breathing things that will need a lot of care. If you want something easy get a toy.

I'm not an expert I just have to know a bunch about pet keeping cuz of my job😅

Rest in peace, Caesar.

A month ago my Betta fish, Caesar, got a parasite inside his body and because of college finales I didn't notice he was sick up until two weeks ago, I tried to heal him with aquarium salt and indian almond leaves in a hospital tank with frequent water changes. To no avail, he passed away this night.

I couldn't get him proper medicine for his condition; I had no money as I spent half of it for my pet cats, Sushi and ET, for their food and vaccine (including food for stray cats as well) while the other half went to personal reasons (private/family matters that I can't and don't want to reveal). My father refused to lend me money as he thinks it's really ridiculous to buy a 15$ medicine for a dying fish.

I was confident that I could heal with aquarium salt and indian almond leaves, as I had already healed him from Swim Bladder disease with the same same stuff when I first took him from the pet shop.

I had plans to turn my aquarium into an aquascape but after his death I don't think I want to get another Betta, I loved him, played with him and even had conversations with him, it will be hard to just get another. Rest in peace.

Soooo… guess here are my current obsessions One Piece OCs

@auxiliarydetective I did give it a try… not everything is final yet. Might not be a great introduction like this but it was fun to do and if anyone has different questionaires (or whatever they're called) just tag me.^^

Ideas, criticism, inspiration, all is welcome :) I've never so openly done this tbh

Animal Resemblances Neri: Betta Fish Niara: Emerald Swallowtail Azura: Arctic Fox Cordelia: Bombay Cat Ellaria: Splendid Fairy Wren (Not 100% sold on that yet but it will be a beautiful bird) Ginny: Leopard Seal (looks cute but could actually kill you)

Specific Numbers Neri: 5/1/4 (ka – i - yo) (her last name) Niara: 22 (ni - a) Azura: 26 (a - tsu - ra) (eh, close enough^^) Cordelia: 5 10 0 2 (Ko - da - lei - a) (lol again close enough - but the many numbers look weird, this one might definitely change in the future?) Ellaria: 3-6-1 (Mirai = future) (it's a vision thing - but might also change if her name happens to fit better when she eventually gets one) Ginny: undefined yet

Specific Colors Neri: turquoise, light blue Niara: pale green, pale pink Azura: white, gold Cordelia: black, red Ellaria: white, grey, silver, very pale colors Ginny: a fiercy, angry red

Specific Smells Neri: ocean breeze, salt water Niara: apple & honeysuckle Azura: citron Cordelia: amber Ellaria: jasmine Ginny: honey & rose

Favourite Type of Island and Season Neri: summer on a spring island Niara: spring on a summer island Azura: winter on an autumn island Cordelia: autumn on an autumn island Ellaria: spring on a winter island Ginny: spring on a spring island

Favourite Food Neri: Seafood Niara: icecream, watermelon, blueberry pancakes, cupcakes Azura: oysters, shellfish, salad, filet mignon Cordelia: sunday roast, fried shrimp, spicy food Ellaria: Mushrooms, coffee, asian cuisine Ginny: strawberries, meat, soup

Least Favourite Food Neri: greasy food, meat, alcohol Niara: most vegetables Azura: fast food, cheap food, candy, cake Cordelia: lentils, fish sandwiches, anything with pumpkin Ellaria: fried foods, asparagus, ketchup Ginny: rhubarb, olives, brussels sprouts, eggplant

As a Family Neri: the adopted sister that comes from an entirely different culture Niara: cheerful youngest sister, always getting into mieschief Azura: the wine aunt Cordelia: oldest sister, often annoyed at her younger siblings but quick to defend them/come to their rescue Ellaria: the mother Ginny: (distant?) cousin

Real-World Nationalities Neri: Danish (as Denmark is associated with the little mermaid) Niara: Dutch (the Netherlands are described as the country of flowers and her devil fruit power is flower-based, so…) Azura: English-Irish (the latter shines through when she's drunk…) Cordelia: Italian Ellaria: Japanese Ginny: Scottish

Inner Brain Neri: probably lot's of excitement over various things that are happening around her or that she wants to give a try Niara: having fun with her friends, pretty things she likes, crushes (well one crush in particular) Azura: is annoyed at stuff and/or people half of the time so that's in her head a lot. Also, training. Cordelia: work hard, party harder, looking hot while doing both Ellaria: the fate of the world, secrets Ginny: training, anger, distrust, more anger

Suited Flower Neri: water iris Niara: sunflower Azura: white lily Cordelia: amaryllis Ellaria: tall garden larkspur Ginny: fire plant

Are they Strawhats? Neri: yes Niara: joins after the timeskip The others: no Azura: is a warlord of the sea Cordelia: works at a bar - it would be a different bar in cannon but she could keep her overall story I guess - might have to join a crew at some point though otherwise the characters would move on without her Ellaria: is with the revolutinary army (at least for some part of her story) Ginny: is with the revolutinary army

Ideas that first popped into my mind when certain OCs came to exist… Neri: it's a show about pirates, there's GOT to be a mermaid Niara: I want a character that uses a devil fruit mmmh what about plants/flowers (strangely enough, none of my pokemon oc's ever cared much about the grass type lol) Azura: I want a cool sword fighting lady Cordelia: I want a hot fierce type of character that looks good in black and that doesn't take anyone's crap Ellaria: came into the picture much later, I only recently decided somewhat on her looks, only things I know for sure is pale green eyes and can sort of see the future. Might never make it into any kind of story but she popped into my mind so here we go. Ginny: falls into the category "looks cute but can probably kill you".

Made some Picrew of them coz I saw other creators doing that

Neri:

Niara: (fun fact, she's currently one of my favorites)

Azura:

Cordelia:

Ellaria: (I'm almost certain I'm gonna keep the color palette and probably the hair...)

Ginny: (not her final look probably but I kinda want to keep the scars idk)

I took her pictures out because I decided on a different look for her. She will be a redhead now. She definitely has a scar or two on her face.

Bonus: A picture drawn by @indig0pearl featuring Neri and her own OC, Sora, as well as Nami, Robin, Chopper, and three of our friends (here also draw as OCs - yes the alpaka is one of them, she ate a devil fruit^^)

[practically-an-x-man]

for the Secret Ask List- 1, 4, 7, and 27 for Kat, and 6, 11, 26 (lots of aquatic possibilities... feel free to answer with a non-plant like kelp!) and 29 for Vivienne!

Ooooooh thank you so much!!!

Secret OC Ask List

Katherine:

1) Does your OC have a voice claim, if so who?

I don't normally think much about voiceclaims, honestly! I've mentioned Dara Reneé as a possible faceclaim for Katherine, and I do usually double-up on voiceclaims with the faceclaim (since that's usually a fair bet for choosing a voice that "fits" their appearance) - I do see Dara Reneé's voice as a pretty good match for Katherine's in tone, but she'd have to put on a Southern accent!

4) What song describes your OC and their partner/love interest?

I mean... her whole fic is titled from the lyrics of Who Wants to Live Forever by Queen, and that was definitely meant to fit her and Ahk! And Rami Malek joke aside, I do feel like most of Queen's love songs fit them well (Love of My Life, You Take My Breath Away, etc.)

7) Vice-Versa! If your OC is in the modern day, what fantasy class would they be? Would they be a different race?

CLERIC!! I mean, she's basically a cleric already, even in the modern world, so you just KNOW she'd be a cleric to Bastet (or whatever the fantasy-fiction equivalent to Bastet would be)

As for a different race... no, I don't think so. I think she'd be best just to stick with being a human, though it could kinda be funny to have a running joke where the other members in her party joke about her being half-dwarf because of her height (don't worry, she'd absolutely find some way to get them back XD)

27) What's their spirit tamagotchi? Or an animal you associate them with?

I mean, the obvious answer would be cats, namely for her connection with Bastet, but that does fit Katherine very well (almost like it's by design... lol).

Outside of that, I could also see her as something like a spotted genet, raccoon, or marbled polecat - something small and cute but deceptively capable, and not entirely dissimilar to a cat (not in terms of biology, just mental association).

____

Vivienne:

6) If your OC is in a fantasy setting, what profession would they be in the modern day?

Answered here!

11) What was your inspiration for your OC?

Answered here!

26) What flower do you associate your OC with?

Ooooooh, I know it's not a plant but I really see Vivienne as fire coral!

Just these beautiful, branching aquatic forms, but with a hidden venom that's incredibly painful and dangerous!

But in terms of actual flowers, I'm going to go with sundew!

Similar story here: a very outwardly beautiful, unique, enchanting form, but secretly carnivorous! I feel like that's a good metaphor for being a siren :D

29) Imagine a mood board for your OC! What's on it? (Make it if you want!)

Oooooh so first things first, @negative-speedforce actually made me a moodboard for Vivienne and it is GORGEOUS!! It's on display here in her OC bio!

I really do love that misty, Gothic atmosphere in the moodboard, especially with the indistinct silhouettes that come from deep water or oceanic fog. That fits Vivienne SO well, and really matches the tone of the fics I've written for it!!

I do think it could be cool, if a second moodboard were to be made, to take things in a more colorful direction. Bright fish scales (betta fish baby!! Vivienne's inspo!!) and coral reefs, but also some more mundane or "human" things like rows of pastries from a bakery or formal dresses from the late 19th century, even something that represents oral storytelling (though I'm not sure what that would be). It would be neat to have this moodboard be bright and vibrant as a contrast to the Gothic moodboard I already have for her, and I think it would especially capture that dichotomy in Vivienne's character - not only land and sea, but the contrast between her behavior as a living sea storm/omen of danger and her behavior as an energetic and fun-loving storyteller.

so, turns out writing headcanons is fun, and since it doesn't need as much effort as artwork imma do it some more 😊

here we got another steam team ranking, this time who is least to most likely to have an aquatic pet (fish, turtle etc.)

but before we get to it, here are the pets they actually do have in my AU: Thomas & James - 3 dogs (2 Goldens & 1 Choco Lab); Edward & Henry - Emerald Tree Boa (snake); Gordon, Toby - none, Percy - Greek Tortoise; Emily - cat (orange)

now, for the ranking!

Gordon - (0/10) absolutely not. He doesn't want pets in general, and especially hates fish. Doesn't even acknowledge other aquatic pets, his hatred of fish is enough to dismiss the entire ecosystem.

Henry - also (0/10), but he's higher on the list than Gordon because he's not as defensive about it. As it stands, he's so used to pulling trains full of dead fish, that owning live ones would make him feel bad. Genuinely forgets that there are more aquatic options.

Thomas - (2/10) he's still traumatised by the fish that got into his boiler, he'd rather not be anywhere near fish if he can help it. Finds some turtles cute though.

Emily - (4/10) maybe if she didn't already have a cat. As it stands he loves the gremlin and will not exchange him for an aquarium.

Edward - (6/10) possibly a water snake if they didn't already have their beautiful emerald girl. What can I say, they like snakes.

Toby - (7/10) doesn't want a pet, but if he had to have one, it would be a fish.

James - (9/10) contemplated buying a couple of red bettas a while back, ultimately didn't because of Thomas. Still thinks they're incredibly beautiful. Also wouldn't mind having a red-eared slider.

Percy - (10/10) absolutely would. Spent an excessive amount of time trying to decide whether to get a turtle or a tortoise and is considering getting the turtle anyway.

[acaciapines]

a continuation of this very long post about daemons between me and @spookyfurybouquet-53d553e6. now a bit less long!

house of leaves EXACTLY lol i love stuff like that. need more books like this and i feel like w/ daemons they can push even more boundaries.

daemon fashion my beloved it would really be so cool…god you know what would exist. something like a best friend necklace where each half gets half the necklace. maybe some of them are like best friend necklaces just with different words but there is for SURE some company that will make like. necklaces with your human/daemons face on them. so you can share those. i feel like this would be popular w/ people who just settled as a way to show off like look at us!!!! elephant!!! WAHOO!!!!

NOT THE HOSPITALS….i wonder if this would lead to specific species that are much smaller being common? since there would be less to wash…i could also see species without fur being more common (way less to shed!) and maybe even fish honestly…this WOULD require hospitals to be entirely reformatted to include places for fish to swim, but i feel like that could be really fun…bc the fish wouldn't need to be sterilized (not directly interacting w/ patients) but via tube systems could still get close enough to notice things the humans might not. i imagine maybe most doctors and nurses fit these specifics, but then there's also those with monkey daemons or something, for cases where you have to directly operate on a daemon and need the flexibility of like, opposable thumbs.

hmmm….i really like all of your ideas here. i imagine there would have to be a HUGE industry of like, all these tools we have that assume you have like, opposable thumbs to use…i mean, if you're a cat, thats, uh, gonna be kinda hard. like take writing--there must be something that allows all sorts of dameons to write things down. for some species i could imagine ink that you can just dip a claw/talon into, but for others it might be harder…maybe some sort of text-to-speech thing is developed sooner? i guess before that humans just write things FOR their daemons but thats no fun lol i want a pen a betta fish can use somehow.

oooh i didn't know humans could see uv light so that makes a lot of sense…i think the way i'd play that is that it WOULD probably happen if you settle that way, but is a bit less likely if its just a form you use sometimes…so like, the more you're in that form, the more likely it is that you're able to adapt to these new senses. but at the same time i do really like there being these distinctions between daemons and actual animals, so i would still say some things are off limits. i think this being a learned skill and not innate is the best of both worlds--some people WOULD fight out how to use and interpret ecolocation,new colors, etc, but others wouldn't care enough to bother. the colors working as being "more" is really good tho.

TECH W SO MANY BUTTONS YES…..i love this look i think buttons stick around for a LONG time, even when there is voice recognition…or at least both are offered rather than being removed from future generations of device. resistive touch screens would be a good idea too, and YES i want to see the itty bitty tiny phones made for mice and ants. water-resistant phones you can dunk in water for your fish-daemon. i mean realistically fish daemon get the short end of the stick but in an ideal world they get phones too <3 kids in classes who start texting theri daemons/humans rather than whispering to try to not be noticed. pov my ant daemon is hiding in my desk scrolling tumblr in math class but she and her phone are so small nobody notices.

yeah! severing is real fun to play around with lol, my ideas of it is like…adults will die basically 100% of the time bc (in the world where i was playing with it) settling is when you become for lack of a better word 'set in stone--' of course you're still capable of change and such but your sort of core self and baseline has been formed and that cant really. survive being cut in half. but if youre a KID, if youre still unsettled, there's a flexibility there--you aren't a 'full person' yet. you're basically a bunch of possiblites, as represented by, yknow, daemon changing. so there's a chance that you'll change in such a way that you CAN survive this shock, and figure out where to go next.

i think it would depend…personally i LOVE playing around in worlds that are Very Shitty about a lot of things so being a witch is 'breaking the rules' which are of course set in stone and unchangeable (<- that is, of course, a lie). i also tend to focus more on the daemon side lol, so, seeing a human without a daemon? not that strange. daemons can be hidden away. a daemon without a human? THATS something that has to be destroyed. because in this hierarchy, humans are on top. but of course thats just in the worlds and themes i enjoy exploring lol. lots of other ways to take it!

history is fun to think about…i dont usually touch on it in my fics bc i think most of my ideas are just Huge Bummers but i will hint at it sometimes! and i love a story that WILL tackle the way history has changed and different things have risen and fallen…very fun!

oh the alt history ideas in a world with daemons would be SO FUN. i think ive said this before but i want to see what a world with daemons would make of the prompt 'what if daemons didn't exist.' basically what a no-daemon au would look like in their world. i think it would be SO fascinating.

OOH SPEAKING OF HEART STOPPING near death experiences���not like comas where people are being kept alive but like, where you DO die but come back. i am not verse in the How behind this at ALL but near-death experiences where only one half comes back <3 bc im me i say daemon comes back (i imagine it takes some time for all the dust to disperse--so if you bring someone back quick enough, maybe you dont restart their heart, but the few sparks you got in trying is enough for the dust to come back together again?). tho yeah people in a world with daemons in general must have wayyyyy less times when people are accidentally buried when theyre still alive lol.

NOT THE COACHES TO DESTROY IDENITY….they would tho. i LOVE the idea of settling as something you hate <3 this is what i wrote like a 900k fic about. and ooooh terrible telenova plots being inspired by when actors settle is so funny. we weren't gonna give this guy an evil twin but SOMEONE went and settled as a DOLPHIN.

[interlockingpatches]

Fresh water or sea fish patterns!!! And eels!!!!! Farm animals? Bones of the body. Desert things. Party theme (disco ball?) amoeba n microscopes and petri dishes!!! Different flowers?

Here is my first attempt at grappling with an eel!

I really have given fish short shrift so far! Just one published goldfish that barely counts, an unreleased betta, and two other unpublished motifs where the fish is an anonymous snack. No good at all!

I do have a handful of farm animals that I did back in very early days but haven't written up yet…

…and if I were a more sensible kind of person i'd just add a cow, a turkey, a sheep, a sheepdog, a barn cat and a rooster, plus or minus—and call it Farm Friends. Country Colleagues. Instead, I'm over here having a tortured ontological debate with myself only about what constitutes a "farm animal:"

Also I just tried to draw a sheep and it turned out much too big but also we've grown very close and now I don't know what to do:

aaah!
